I am referring to the following link for disposing the SharePoint objects. Basically, I understand that mainly SPSite and SPWeb are the 2 objects that use unmanaged code.

Best Practices: Using Disposable Windows SharePoint Services Objects

I have a Windows Service that loops through all the web applications, then site collections within it and then the sub sites in it. In this, I am carefully disposing SPSite and SPWeb objects. Still there appears to be memory leaks, which I am not able to catch. I tried using SPDisposeCheck, but it doesn't seem to be reliable. I know about SPCAF, but it is paid. I am not sure if there are other tools which are free and reliable for checking memory leaks. Can anyone please help?

Are there other tools which are free and reliable for checking memory leaks.

Yes, Microsoft provides a tool called the “Microsoft SharePoint Online Code Analysis Framework (MSOCAF)” that is available in a SharePoint 2010 and a SharePoint 2013 version.

For more details about MSOCAF check https://caf.sharepoint.microsoftonline.com/

But what I think it'll give you a similar result as SPDisposeCheck result. So I suggest requesting a free SPCAF trial for at https://trial.spcaf.com/ and compare the result with MSOCAF.

For more details check (MSOCAF) and (SPCAF) features comparison
